Fiat 125 Abarth

I guess the Ritmo/Strada 125 Abarth is what you're after?

Here are some specs for you:

I think about Fiat 125 (1967-1973) like this one

but with Abarth modifications.

Sorry - I just looked in the Abarth Catalogue Raissonne - no mention of any 125-based Abarths. It could be just a slightly higher-spec 125 with Abarth badges tacked on in the hope of adding a bit of glitz & glamour to it....

I also thougth there wasn't Fiat 125 Abarth, but look here:

(2'nd page, 1975, Fulvio Bacchelli + Bruno Scabini)Except this, I never saw anything more abut this car.

I live in South Africa and we had a special performance version of the 125 called the "Scorpion". It was very quick for a 1600cc, 0-60 in 8,7 seconds and maximum speed about 180km/h for the 4 speed version at 6700 revs (would not rev further). I suspect the cam was hot and the main reason for the performance. The 5 speed should have been faster with higher gearing.

It was modified by John Conchie and was sold through Fiat dealers. What a car!! I think I should Google "Fiat 125 Scorpion" and see what turns up!

I guess you mean this car

It's for sale in The Netherlands. Perhaps you can get some information from Martin Willems!

Jan-Wijtze The Netherlands.

Howzit boet? ;-)

I remember the Conchie stuff from old CAR magazines, but never actually saw one. With all due respect to the conversion, the Abarth stuff is in a different league altogether IMHO.

The Strada Abarth 125 is a 'real' beast. I have the Fiat Workshop Manual for this car. From what I can remember it was basically for the Swiss market.

If you want to let me know what particular technical info is of interest I will go and see if it is detailed in the manual.

Ofcors I want it, send everything You've got (data, pictures, everything).

can't really provide all the info you are looking for because there is just so much of it!

Basically the 125TC is the same as the 130TC but the following may differ:
